I had started some years ago with the idea of an arm extending out into space and retracting again like a farm gate with the hinge on a slight bias so as it closes by itself, adding another gate or arm to the top of the first and so on. My interest in svelte curvature and the idea to create balance and extraordinary extension using bob weights to assist in a cantilever effect with high performance light weight fibrous materials has evolved into this Big Snake sculpture. How appropriate for it to be in the capital city of Australia. I also have a childhood memory when learning the book of Genesis and the garden of Eden, picturing in my minds eye a seductive talking and dancing snake in a tree selling Eve the forbidden apple.
